Working with my partner @Crimealytics, we wrote in the @USATODAY about the critical need to revolutionize how we collect, process, and disseminate all criminal justice data - highlighting crime data's deficiencies in the process. Enjoy! usatoday.com/story/opinion/p…

With the caveat that crime data in the US is a mess so we don't even know the number of homicides that happened last year, the best near real-time data shows the murder rate has plateaued and may even be falling, though from much higher levels than 2019.

We should be alarmed that the FBI’s data gap will make it harder to analyze 2021 crime trends, including homicides

Proud to work with @mo_mcgough and the @policingproject on Health Check, including thinking through how to develop ways to measure these critical aspects of policing.
